  Description     : tool for flashing firmware on Samsung Galaxy S devices

Heimdall is a tool for flashing firmware (aka ROMs) onto Samsung Galaxy S
devices over a USB connection.  It accomplishes this using the same
protocol as Odin, Samsung's internal Windows-only firmware updater.


The naming of this tool is entirely logical from the upstream's perspective,
given that there are other related pieces of software called "Odin" and
"Loke".  However, there's an unfortunate namespace collision here with the
Kerberos implementation Heimdal.  Suggestions welcome on how to qualify
the source package name so that the packages are more than one letter off
from one another...
